Thanks to all of you for your helpful feedback regarding my math question!!! Sounds like going the Algebra/Trig based physics route will be just right. I am glad to have found this group and plan to become a regular- if all goes according to plan.
Kudos to everyone for taking on the pre-med challenge-- I’m sure it is hard work at any age. At this point, all I can do is admire all of you- I hope to be “one of the gang” soon.
